As  Twilight  was  turning  to  darkness  when  I  had  decided  to  walk  upstream  to  scout  out  a
         campsite to rescue my one kaysk and gear that had rolled, I never expected to see a rocking

         chair sitting in the middle of green grass.

                                                  Ok……..that’s not all.

         As if someone was expecting me, I found a log sticking straight up with wood stacked around
         it, dry as tinder and more than begging for me to strike a spark.

         Worse than that it all sat flat as can be next to a ridge like a ‘landing for camping” that protect-

         ed it from the North and north winds.

         Trees started and ended the landing east and west. Rocking Chair and stacked wood sat in the
         middle of grass. Another place at least 2 chord of wood looked stashed and safe from summer,

         all dry as can be. Not thinking about it I just went back got my camp light on and started work.
